There is an opportunity here in Australia to reform corporate reporting to increase its utility for investors and other users, whilst reducing the volume and complexity for companies.

A Group of 100 (G100) and Australian Council of Superannuation Industries (ACSI) event was held in May 2017 – focused on global and local activities to improve corporate reporting.

The discussion focused on:

the opportunity to align the capital markets system for 21st century business and investment requirements

the need to enhance the governance framework for multi-capital business models for future value

the growing focus on investor stewardship and the need for longer term value creation

the opportunity for Integrated Reporting to be the framework that provides the effective bridge between companies, investors and other participants in the capital markets.

If the capital market system in Australia works collaboratively – fundamental change can be achieved to move the dial to focus on 21st century information needs and longer term value creation. This dialogue brings representatives from all impacted groups together to explain the opportunity and move the debate forward towards a practical solution.
